Venus in Aries

By Molly Hall, About.com

What You're Like:
If your Venus is in Aries, you thrive on initiating new relationships, and don't shy from making bold propositions. There's an innocence to your invitations that softens the reserve of more guarded types. Your lust for life is contagious, but not everyone can live at your pace. You guard your independence, and would never do or say anything for the sake of the relationship. Others respect you because you stay true to yourself no matter what.
Quality and Element:
Cardinal Fire
In Love and Romance:
As a Venus in Aries person, you have fiery passions that easily inflame around attractive potential lovers. You'll pursue a love interest ardently, and in extreme cases, this zeal leads you into fly-by-night marriages. Your impulsiveness gets you in trouble, because you lose interest just as quickly. You don't like anything too settled, preferring some tension in the relationship. For you, combat gets the blood pumping, including mental sparring. You'll flee from a passive partner, or a bond that has lost its luster. Bottom line is that you need challenge, and constant stimulation.
Friendship Style:
You like to be the alpha of any clique, and pulls it off by being generous, exciting and just so darn self-assured. You're the one that pushes the experimental envelope, and comes back to share tales of your exploits. You're blunt, which means you won't lie and tell friends they look good all the time. You admire strong, independent types, and seem to get nauseous around self-pity, insecurity, etc. If a friend is nursing an emotional wound, you'll instinctively serve up some tough love. Your honesty makes you trustworthy, since people always know where you stand.
Creative Expression:
Venus in Aries make great actors since they naturally engage in a spontaneous, direct way. You emerge as leaders in pursuits that require collaboration, like theatre, filmmaking or music. One conduit of your creativity is through fashion and your social life in general. The presentation of Self becomes an art form in your hands.
The Big Attraction:
You earn admiration because of your independence, self-confidence and vitality. You are a lusty person, and that itself is sexually attractive. You have an alive physicality and activity level that gets attention. What makes you irresistible is that you're not talking about doing whatever it is, you're doing it.
Winning your Heart:
This is a tricky one because any pre-planning will have to be tossed out the window during the wild ride with a Venus in Aries. You want people to be real, and not play games. You want people to be direct and don't say things they don't mean. You like to lead, but crave dynamism in a partner. Your ideal partner is igniting their own passions and staying interested in their own life. You don't want to analyze the relationship, or be expected to read minds.
